Edit wars

Edit wars occur when multiple people repeatedly change or revert a shared online document or webpage, like Wikipedia, because they have conflicting views or disagree about the content. Instead of reaching an agreement, they keep undoing each other's edits, leading to a back-and-forth struggle. This can cause confusion, reduce the quality of the information, and take up a lot of time. To prevent or resolve edit wars, community guidelines encourage discussion and consensus-building before making contentious changes.
